For those persons highly familar with Lefty Frizzell's recordings, this was a key record when it was issued in 1951. The CD reproduction quality is very very good. For Lefty fans, the album is a treat because it brings out the best of the elements of style that made Mr. Frizzell a legend to country musicians: simple arrangements, no horns and no background vocals as are used in his well-known songs from the late 50s to 60s. A set of classic songs, well-performed is all that is here. I highly recommend this CD.

I have waited a long time for this album in CD format. The wait has proven to be well worth it. When Lefty Frizzell recorded this album in 1951 it was the first tribute album in Country Music history. Lefty sings the the songs of Jimmy Rodgers with evident love and respect. The band backing him is superb. I would highly reccomend this album to anyone interested in real Country music.

5.0 out of 5 stars And they said Gene Autry was the closest to Jimmie, January 22, 2005

Gene Autry didn't have the advantage of the recording equipment Left had, but Lefty is still THE ONE. How could anyone interpret Jimmie Rodger's music any better?
